A Time To Stitch Six Sign Up

Hi Y'all,

Wow it is hard to believe that it is mine and Christine's sixth time presenting A Time To Stitch Challenge. It seems like just a few months ago we did our first one on peyote and herringbone stitches, but that was way back in May and June of 2012.

Since this is our sixth time Christine and I thought we would make it just a bit more challenging. The objective for ATTS 6 is to use a graphed chart, word chart, or picture chart using peyote, square, RAW, or brick stitches.

Here are some examples:

graphed chart

Word chart

Picture graph chart

Your items can be one dimensional or three dimensional

Little Bead Boxes written by Julia S. Pretl (you can get this book from Amazon .com in paper back or Kindle form)

This tutorial can be purchased on Etsy

Amy Severino of Amy Beads blog has also gave permission to use the patterns from theBead It Forwardweb site. If you do use the Bead It Forward patterns please send in what you created to theBead It Forward project, it is for a good cause.

Also there are programs you can use to make your own patterns to use. The program I use is Bead Tool 4 it is a free site or you can pay a small yearly charge and be able to save your patterns.

Sign ups for ATTS 6 are from today through the 17th of October, and the reveal will be the 10th of January 2015, so come and sign up and join in on the fun here or over on Christine's blog.

Hi Therese, Sounds like fun. I have had the Julia Pretl book for awhile but haven't made anything from it so this will be a great opportunity to try it out. I also LOVE the Desert Rose pattern - thanks for introducing me to that Etsy store. This will be a great way to start the beading year.

About Me

Hello, my name is Therese and I live in the great state of Alabama. I love to make jewelry in my spare time. I started making jewelry in 2005. I was looking through a beading magazine and saw a necklace that I fell in love with and just had to make, so I did, and I have been hooked ever since. Along with jewelry making I crochet, paint mostly on glass items, make clothes, quilt, counted cross stitch, and a few other crafts. I'm a mother of one, a handsome young man that is all grown up and on his own.
